…but am I famous yet?

Virgo season is coming at me way too hard this time around. I didn’t expect to like Minneapolis-Saint Paul as much as I do. And there’s still so much more left to see. This weekend, I vaguely was like “I wanna see art.” Next thing I know, I’ve got a weekend packed full of it….

I’ve been thinking a lot about the kind of life I want to live and what I think will make me happy. I keep reading about these celebrities (*cough* Ed Sheeran *cough*) who claim to have been homeless for their art but actually grew up rich and choose homelessness to make them “edgy.” Am I…

(Fair warning: This is more of a general “where I’m at” post and not so much a “things about playwriting” post. Feel free to skip this one.) Holy sh*t. The next blog post I write will be from the Twin Cities. I will have moved and settled by then and will hopefully be writing and…

I’m a bit tired of my bullsh*t. Whatever’s gonna happen is gonna happen. My whole life has been “I’ve never done [x] before” and I figured it out. This is no different. If there’s anything I love, it’s a free fall so I’m kind of done talking about it. As the greats say, “Don’t talk…

A couple of you have reached out to me about my most recent post (thank you). I keep forgetting people actually read this blog. I’m okay. I just wanted to capture the moment. And it’s been an intense one. Since May, I lost my cat and my grandfather in the same week. I almost lost…

On New Year’s Eve, I asked 2021 to “wreck my plans” and 2021 was like “Bet.” I got into tarot* because of the show I’m working on. In order to get more familiar with the cards, for the last six weeks, I’ve been doing tarot readings for myself every morning. The last two days I’ve…

I turned down my dream job. Or at least what I thought was my dream job. For years, I’ve been saying it would be a dream come true to be the Director of New Work/Literary Manager at a theatre company. I’m constantly reading plays anyway and making lists of my favorite plays. I really wanted…

I think I might be done. It’s been interesting to me that for months I’ve been talking about how burned out I am and how absolutely nothing has slowed down. And most of the people at these theatre companies seem to be fine with me passing out in my living room, working 70-80 hours a…

CW: suicide ideation, self-harm Yesterday, my cat died. I wanted to write a blog post about first drafts and how I feel like people just aren’t as excited by them and I don’t know why…but then my cat died in a pretty traumatic way. (She was only five.) I very frankly told a close friend…

I’m going to get in trouble for this one. For as long as I can remember, I have always been very, very, very into awards and titles. I haven’t always been good at deciphering if I wanted something because I actually wanted it or I felt like I was supposed to want it. I was…
